Disliked: Amenities
Parking was good, room and air conditioning were good. We booked our room last minute, but the hotel was obviously not full, yet we were given a room towards the back and very, very small. The location is the best, walking distance to everything. I would recommend staying here, but we just weren’t happy with the room we were given.

A nice suite with a great patio. Check in was easy and straightforward. If I was staying longer the dishwasher being out of service would have been a bummer but otherwise everything was functional.
